    It was a wonderful experience! From the warm welcome by the lovely Hilária to the actual tour. The place is magical. Truffle hunting was a delightful moment, and watching the beautiful and clever little dog search for truffles was so much fun. Afterward, I took a tour of the property, tasted the wines, indulged in the boutique wines they produce, and enjoyed a delicious pasta with truffles. I was warmly welcomed, heard stories, and learned a lot! The owner, a wine enthusiast, shared insights about Amarone and its history. In summary, if you appreciate a boutique, authentic, and special experience, don't miss visiting! I will cherish great memories. A heartfelt thank you once again for the hospitality.
